Daily rates & price-by-weight (catalogue sites)

Jeweller catalogue sites: update today's gold & silver rates from your phone and every weight-priced piece re-prices automatically — with a transparent price breakup.

In this guide

The Swarna Catalogue design prices pieces by weight × today's rate. You keep a rate board — Gold 24K/22K/18K per 10g, Silver per kg, or any rates you like — and update it from your phone in seconds. The moment you save, every weight-priced piece re-prices automatically: on product cards, product pages, the live-rates bar, and the price breakup.

This page is for the jewellery catalogue design only. Daily Rates appears in your sidebar when your website uses Swarna Catalogue — the design built for gold and silver, where the price changes every morning. The other catalogue designs (Calibre for tools and machinery,Cobalt for dealers and distributors) sell at fixed prices you type on the product, so they carry no rate board and no Daily Rates page — that is by design, not something missing. Everything else about running a catalogue is the same for all three: see Catalogue websites.

Updating today's rates

1

Open Daily Rates

Open Daily Rates in your website's sidebar — it is also a tile under Sales on your Manage page, and the Rates cell in the bar at the bottom of a phone. It works beautifully on a phone, which is how most jewellers update rates every morning.

Type the day's values

Each row is one rate — e.g. Gold 22K at ₹1,38,421 per 10 grams. Change the ₹ value and you're done. The Fill karats from 24K button auto-calculates 22K/20K/18K/14K/9K from your 24K rate (you can still adjust any of them by hand). While you type, a small red ▲ or green ▼ beside the row shows how many rupees it moved since your last save, and the top of the page says Last updated with the date and time (IST). A brand-new site with no rates gets a Start with the standard gold & silver board button.

Save

Tap Save Today's Rates. Every piece priced by weight re-prices at once, and your live website picks the new board up within about a minute — a customer already browsing sees today's price on their next tap. You never have to press Update Website for a rate change. Pieces linked with items in your CRM pass their new price to those items too.

Show rates on your website. The LIVE RATES bar on your homepage shows the rates you mark Show in top bar (usually Gold 24K + Silver 999); the little arrow expands the full board. Your menu drawer and footer show them too — it's the same trust signal customers see at your counter.

Hide the rates bar, or add a note under it

Below the rates, two controls decide what customers see. Untick Show the rates bar on your site when you would rather not show the LIVE RATES bar on your home page — pieces still re-price by weight; only the bar is hidden. Type a short line in Note under the rates (optional), for example “Rates updated every morning at 10 AM” (up to 200 letters), and it shows in the rates bar beside the time you last updated. Both are saved with Save Today's Rates.

How a piece's price is calculated

When you add a piece (Products → Catalogue & Price by Weight), choose one of three modes:

  • By weight & rate — pick the metal (e.g. Gold 22K), enter the net weight in grams, and optionally wastage/VA %, making charges (₹/gram, % of metal, or flat), stone charges, and GST. The price = metal value + wastage + making + stones (+ GST if you add it) — the exact maths you do across the counter, shown to the customer as a transparent Price Breakup on the product page (you can switch the breakup off in the editor).
  • Fixed price — you type the price; rate changes don't affect it.
  • Price on WhatsApp — no price shown; the card says Price on WhatsApp and customers message you. Perfect for bridal and bespoke pieces.
Item codes are how customers enquire. Every piece can carry an item code (like #0027) shown as a pill on its photo. Customers send you the code on WhatsApp — the enquiry message is pre-filled with the piece name, code, today's price and a link, so you know exactly what they're asking about.

Common questions

  • Do I have to update rates daily? No — update whenever the market moves. Your site keeps using the last saved board and shows when it was updated.
  • Can I add my own rates? Yes — tap + Add a Gold rate (or + Add a Silver rate) and name the row, for example Platinum 950; it sits in that group on this page and appears in the metal list on your products. Each row has its own unit: per gram, per 10 grams, per 100 grams or per kg. Remove deletes a row you no longer use.
  • Daily Rates says it couldn't load my rates. Check your connection and tap Try again — the page also tries again by itself when your phone is back online. It never shows an empty board in place of one it could not read, so nothing you saved is lost. If it says your website isn't available right now, your website is switched off; your Manage page says why, and the rates can be changed again once it is back.
  • What do enquiries cost? On the Free plan, ₹5 per enquiry from your Lentlo Credits — one charge per person per day, and never more than 30 charged enquiries from one website in a day, however busy it gets. On the ₹999/year plan, enquiries are unlimited and free.
